Krostenko provides the first book-length study of the rhetoric of both of Cicero's speeches "On the Agrarian Law" I and II. Reveals Cicero's constant invocation of unnamed referents to implicitly bolster his arguments, which shows that Cicero is not trying to persuade "logically" as much as try to locate his claims amid other shared tokens of meaning. Delivers a superior model for understanding contested political slogans and ideologies." From an AI overview: "Core Themes and Arguments: Consular Debut: Delivered on January 1 and January 4, 63 BCE, the first speech was addressed to the senate (De Lege Agraria I) and the second to a public assembly (contio) of the Roman people (De Lege Agraria II). Beyond Opportunism: While older scholarship often dismissed these speeches as unprincipled or purely self-serving, Krostenko uses close linguistic analysis to argue that Cicero presented a coherent, sincerely held political vision. The State's Ideal Function: Krostenko demonstrates how Cicero’s critiques of the agrarian bill proposed by the tribune P. Servilius Rullus were tied to an idealistic framework - urging the people to value their sovereignty and the senate to act with high responsibility.Manifesto of Leadership: The book shows how Cicero transformed what could have been a narrow legislative critique into a broader political manifesto outlining his role and duties as a new consul.".

Description de la boutique

About Books [Genny and Michael Winne, proprietors, formerly of Parsippany, New Jersey) has been selling rare and out of print books since 1985. Besides book fairs and mail order catalogue, long-time collectors and dealers will remember our lengthy For Sale ads in the Antiquarian Bookman and similar magazines. Our inventory of more than 40,000 volumes is especially strong in the specialities listed, but contains fine books in a variety of other fields as well. Because most of our books are stored in protective boxes, rather than on shelves, they cannot be viewed as a whole. If you want to examine specific titles, please provide 24 hours notice and we will make them available for your inspection. Phone calls to (702) 750-2722 are welcome, but please only between the hours of 8am and 10pm, west coast time. Our phone is a landline that cannot receive texts.…
